Just received my new Alcoas and have mounted Goodyear G 159's.

I am now gathering opinions/information:

1) Are the nuts torqued to 140 lbs?
2) What air pressure should I put in the tires?

As a total aside, a number of days ago I mentioned having an
"inadequate' water pump. Curiosity got the better of me. I have a
parts ' 76 Toronado, and in short order I was looking at a cast
impeller of the correct kind.
Who rebuilds water pumps where I can walk in, lay my cast unit on
the counter, and know that I am going to get the same one back?

If you have the Alcoa approved nuts the correct torque is 140 lbs. If you
have some other kind the torque may be different.

>2) What air pressure should I put in the tires?

I am still running 80lbs - the max pressure for the max loading. I still
ahven't weighed the coach to see what each tire is handling so I can adjust
pressure.

\Good luck,

Henry... I have the alcoas and I run 60 front 55 rear for pressure. That
gives it a good ride and a good tire pressure.
